Loosely inspired director Claude Berri’s (Jean de Florette) own life, The Two of Us is cinema’s most vivid portrayal of occupied France, 1944. And the brilliantly humorous story of a Jewish boy (Alain Cohen) passing as Christian who’s shipped off to the countryside to stay with a cantankerous old anti-Semite, played by the wonderful Michel Simon. “An understated masterpiece! Michel Simon is simply superb.” —Time Out New York

Shown with Berri’s Oscar-winning short Le Poulet (1962, 15 min.), in which a little boy who finds an egg is the best protection from the Sunday stew pot for his beloved rooster.
